- Employees within the investment group are very impressive with backgrounds from top universities, business schools and financial firms (investment banks / private equity shops) - Evaluate a variety of interesting real estate projects (development, distressed, repositioning, stabilized) - Senior professionals are very approachable and deal teams are small creating a great learning environment.

Cons

- More of a structured two year program, although prior associates have been promoted - Coming from an investment banking backgrouond, the work life balance is signficantly better although at times the hours can be long

Pros

Nice office environment, good amenities, supportive colleagues and solid benefits as well as opportunities to take on meaningful work and develop skills.

Cons

Management effectiveness is inconsistent and can create uneven workloads across teams. High performers often compensate for gaps in leadership capability and employees with strong technical knowledge tend to carry a heavier burden, leading to work/life balance challenges. There appears to be limited accountability in some areas and tenure can outweigh performance in retention decisions impacting team morale.
